Explanation

The Dehang-Debang (also spelled Dihang-Dibang) Biosphere Reserve is located in the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh [c1][c2]. Established in 1998, it covers an area of approximately 5,111 square kilometers across the districts of Dibang Valley, Upper Siang, and West Siang [c2][t1][t6]. The reserve encompasses high mountain ranges of the Eastern Himalayas and the Mishmi Hills, with elevations reaching over 5,000 meters [t1][t9]. It includes protected areas such as Mouling National Park and Dibang Wildlife Sanctuary [t1][t10]. The region is known for its rich biodiversity, including rare fauna like the Mishmi takin, musk deer, and red goral [c2]. While other states like Meghalaya house the Nokrek Biosphere Reserve and Sikkim houses the Khangchendzonga Biosphere Reserve, Dehang-Debang is exclusively situated in Arunachal Pradesh [c2][c3].
